WHY GLOBAL GOVERNANCE MATTERS FOR AFRICA: CRISES, LESSONS AND SETTING THE
POLITICAL AGENDA FOR POST-WESTERN ORDER
- Authors: Billy NYADERA; Uğur Yasin ASAL
  Abstract: Using Africa’s experience during the 2008 global financial crisis and COVID-19 pandemic, this study explores how the peripheral positions of Africa in global governance has disproportionately exposed the continent to inordinate impacts of global crises and argues for an increased role for Africa in global governance. A common Africa position premised on the AU is advanced as capable of providing the continent with adequate impetus to shape global affairs by espousing unified position of Africa in multilateral platforms. This study reiterates that developing such an expanded role that can shape global responses to issues such as reforms in the UNSC, international aid regime, climate change, debt management, global trade, and global economic governance, the continent should adopt common position and leverage its continental frameworks such as AfCFTA and the AfDB to unlock its economic capacity which is the foundation upon which contemporary political influence in global affairs is premised.

COMPARATIVE POLITICAL ECONOMY ANALYSIS OF CHANGES FROM THE ECONOMIC
CRISIS: THE CASE OF TURKEY AND JAPAN
- Authors: Kübra Hatice BİLDİK
  Abstract: Although the differentiation of economic developments between countries has spread over a long period of time, markets are going through similar fragile periods due to globalization. With the popularity of the free market economy all over the world, it has become more common for country groups to be compared with each other. This study deals with the comparison between the selected economic indicators of Turkey and Japan in the 1973 OPEC Crisis, 1994 Asian Crisis, 2008 Global Financial Crisis and COVID-19 Crisis in the period covering 1971 and 2020. When the implementation processes of economic policies in the two countries are examined, it is seen that although there are similar stages, the reactions created to the crises and the recovery processes differ. It is possible to state that the main reason of this difference is related to the level of development of the countries. While the priority areas of developed economies are to transition from economic development to a sustainable economy, the priority areas of developing countries, which are considered as emerging markets in the literature, are based on developing their economies. In this context, the level of development of countries may changes the perception and management of risks, and accordingly, it differentiates the way countries use their savings.

TRANSFORMATION OF WORKING MODELS BEFORE AND AFTER THE COVID 19 PANDEMIC
PROCESS: REMOTE WORKING MODEL
- Authors: Yazgı BÜLBÜL
  Abstract: Since the World Health Organization declared a pandemic in March 2020, it has become mandatory to switch to a global remote/teleworking model in order to prevent the spread of the pandemic. This situation has become the traditional working model as the remote working model, which existed before the pandemic but started to be used in many sectors after the epidemic, became routine. The working from home model is valid for many sectors, but some sectors can only work face-to-face. Many companies that had to quickly switch to remote work have revealed various advantages and disadvantages for both employers and employees. With these advantages and disadvantages assessments, workers getting used to working from home, but feeling isolated and socializing in the office disappeared, the hybrid model aimed at maintaining the home-office balance started to be implemented as of 2021. Currently, many companies at the global level support the hybrid model, some continue to work in the office with the traditional model, and some continue to use the teleworking model.

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN FISCAL PERFORMANCE, GOVERNANCE QUALITY, AND
ECONOMIC GROWTH: EVIDENCE FROM SUB-SAHARAN COUNTRIES
- Authors: Özlem ÖZTÜRK ÇETENAK
  Abstract: Many studies in recent years have focused on the relationship between the government's ability to manage and economic performance indicators. There is ample empirical evidence that factors such as the presence of corruption, violence, and terrorism in a country, and the quality of institutions controlling the market affect the success of economic policies. Similarly, the issue of how the public debt stock affects economic growth has been the central question of many studies. Especially in recent years, the violence, terrorism, and separatist wars that have emerged in Africa have led to the intensification of studies on the continent. In addition, there are many studies supporting that the climate of insecurity created by the violence and terrorist incidents in the continent is the cause of the failure of governance in Africa. Governance failure is also an indicator of ineffectiveness in the formulation and implementation of public policies. This study focuses on investigating the effects of fiscal performance and governance quality on economic growth in Sub-Saharan African countries. In the study, data from 25 sub-Saharan African countries for the period 2002-2019 were used. According to the results of the analysis, as public expenditures increase in the mentioned countries, economic growth decreases. In terms of the focus of the study, it has been found that as fiscal performance and governance quality increase, economic growth also increases. As a fiscal performance indicator, the arithmetic average of the public's domestic and external debt stock was calculated and included in the analysis. An increase in the fiscal performance value means an increase in the country's debt stock.
